THE MILLS.
Virginia City Report.

NuktnAe OA'J
With the starting up Of the Con-
Csl-va. mill, of the crushing Ca
pacity of 400 tons per day, and the
Water Company's mill, of 40 stamps
soon to be erected, will spring up
line Of sluice boxes that will reach
down to the river fat. These will
be operated BY As many men As u
will take to run the mills above, and
they will have all the water they
want to rpn the slaices. In the early
days the big companies did every
thing In their power to prevent the
escape Of amalgam and precious met
d in the ta,lings. They went TO e.
ssenss about il. They built boxef
on the ride OF the hill in Six-mile
Canyon to lead their tsilings and
water away from the sluices, but 81
70 no purpose; the sluicers were
bound to have it - certainly ~ wat
or runs down hill. The amalgam was
caught up in set after set Of siu'ces'
and the last man 10 take them up at
the mouth Of the canyon had good
stuff to sell.
In 1869 the writer of this gathered
. ton or more Of tsilings mile Out
on the Cat, and had it worked At
profit At Jennings' water mill. Mar
Gin Cooney subsequently located the
Ast, and sold the tailings to the
Eureka mill for large sum OF money
Those tailings were run through miles
OF sluices, aud revoked after being
gathered up every few hundred yards
and finally they were all worked a
the big mill, and run out into thu
Carson river, and now DIR. Rae say
there are millions in 'em, and he pro
poses to dredge them up and worl
them over again. The tailings tina
have streamed down Gold Canyon
by Gold Hill and Silver City hav
been treated in the same way, AM
Joseph N. Douglas, after catching
them all in an immense reservoir b
Dayton, has saved that town fror
sinking out Of sight BY running hi
mill on the tailings. There Away
seems to DO . reasonable margin G
profit left in the tailings, and the
are bound to travel down hill an
everybody can have chance
them.
Then again it is like doubling tn
business resources Of the town
have the mill hands with US. tn
married men can live with the
families in town, and it is better Il
them, and the single men have to b
lodged, boarded and clothed. w
will al welcome the day OF the star
ing Of the mills.

TRUE MERIT.

We wish to say to every one interested
in clothes washing that the Tuttle cOmbi-
nation steam washer is an article of true
MERIT that it is, without question, the
only complete family washing machine
ever known 1t clenses the finest lace or
cOarsest article of washing perfectly and
without injury The machine is easily
wOrked-a child ten years old being cap
able of operating it, and will do wash
ing in two hours that requires hard
days labor at the wash tub. The steam
washer is universally known as the only
true washer The Tuttle steam washer
is of late origin, and an improvement
over all others or it would not have been
granted apatent. There has been large
territory disposed of on the merits of the
futile washer, and while there is good
ly field remaining unsold we callenge any
one to produce any enterprise with like
amount of investments that will give an
enterprising man the same returns. Ex
cellent arrangements made with county
agents. To prove our claims for the ma
chine, we would refer you to parties who
have used the Tuttle washer in this city
for nearly year, and who speak in high
est terms of praise for the same, or we
will show or operate the washer at your
homes free of charge. Dodge City is our
headquarters for western Kansas, at the
grain and grocery store Of J. w. Gibbs
& Co., where we will be pleased to meet
parties wishing to interview us.

THE FUTILE WASHER.

The Tuttle washing machine is the in
vention Of H. II. futile, of California,
and is perhaps the most perfect machine
of the kind ever invented. 1t has had an
immense sale in California and the west
ern states, and is rapidly pushing its
sales further east. 4 regular factory for
the making of these machines has been
established at Wichita and other points
in this and neighboring states, which
shows the great popularity which the
Tuttle washer has already achieved. A
large number of the machines are now in
use in the hotels, laundries and private
families in this city and they all appear
to give the best satisfaction. The ma
chimes in use here are manufactured by
the Langton Hardware Co., and are of
the best material and workmanship.
Messrs Young and Borradale are the ex-
elusive agents for this county.

SOUTH DODGE ON A BOOM

Many of the business men are beginning
to turn their attention and talents, in the
direction of South Dodge. Crawford
Bros. the old pioneer mercantile firm, is
still to the front with large stock await
ing patiently the opening of the young
city, whose ultimate development they
have never once doubted.
Z. NJ. Wilkinson has just put in COM
plete stock of groceries, provisions and
feed, which are meeting with good sale,
and the enterprising firm of Wells &
Major is fitting up an extensive store in
the same line of their large establishment
on the North Side
The indications are for great rush of
business across the river on the COM
mencement of the A.. X. q c. r. r.
grade, and these enterprising gentlemen
will ride on the foremost waves of pros
perity when this is brought about.

WILL SHE BOOM?

Some things are better than Other
things for towns boom. but public en-
terprises are the best booming arguments
they are substantial evidences of pros
perity, and such things Dodge City has.
What will send real estate flying, and
add hundreds to our population, the pres
ent season, are improvements as follows
The building of the Arkansas, Kansas
d Colorado Railroad
The building of the Kingman, Pratt &
Western Railroad.
The building of the Denver. Memphis
& Atlantic Railroad.
F The building of the Presbyterian col
lege, cost $4,000
The building of the City Hall, s35, COO
The building of the Santa Fe Round
house and machine shops, costing SOS, 900.
The building of the two miles of street
railways.
These are the public enterprises which
will soon make things hum in Dodge.

CLOSE OF THE INSTITUTE.

The Ford County Teachers Institute
closed last Friday, after accomplishing
with perfect success, the purpose fol-
which it was established. The members
of the institute, both instructors and pu-
pills, pursued their work with an increas-
ing interest, and the close of the session
was regretted by all.
Many of the teachers will return next
year and renew the friendships they have
formed, while those who may not be SO
fortunate as to return, will always retain
happy memories of the meeting which
has just ended:
Great credit is due Profs. Abbot. Lee,
Webb and Groendyke for the scholarly
way in which the institute was conduct
ed. Special congratulations are due Supt
Groendyke as general manager for it's
success was largely due to his business
like management

A SONNET ON THE KANSAS
SUNFLOWER.

BIZ LUELLA II. OSBORNE, CINARROS, KAs.
On the plains of Sunny Kansas,
Where you gaze with tiresome eyes,
You may behold our couhtry's emblem
Growing sometimes large in size.
Dear noble hearted sunhOwer,
With its black and yellow head
With its petals yet unfolding
When all other flowers are dead.
This flower is strangely pretty,
And yet is modest too:
With its large and open face
Which meekly smiles on you.
There's nothing very attractive
To the vision Of any one,
About this western flower,
Which goes around with the sun.
But we will not part with 1t
If our eastern friends should smile,
At the taste of Kansas people,
Severed from them by many mile.
And yet we ask no better emblem
Our principle to express,
Than this great and loving sundower
With black and yellow dress.
Its tall and bending stalk.
Looks something like reed,
Is always very expressive
OF some grand and noble deed.
So let us take the sunfOwer
For our motto and emblem too,
And strive to make our future life
Full of deeds both good end true.

him few sample ears of the corn raised
on his place this season While the ears
are not deficient in size yet they are not
perfectly matured. He is very we'll sat
isfed with his crop however, as his entire
field will yield an average of 20 or 80
bushels per acre. There are many other
fields adjoining his with crops fully as
good, so that no embarrassment for the
